Ingredients
Scale
Salmon and Marinade
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried thyme or dill
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and dried thyme or dill until well combined to create a flavorful marinade.
- Marinate the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them, making sure each fillet is well coated. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse.
- Preheat Cooking Surface: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat or your oven to 400°F (200°C). If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Cook the Salmon: Place the marinated salmon skin-side down on the grill grates or the prepared baking sheet. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily when tested with a fork.
- Serve: Remove the salmon from the heat and serve immediately with your favorite sides for a delicious, healthy meal.
Notes
- Marinating the salmon helps enhance the flavor and keeps it moist during cooking.
- If you prefer stronger herb flavors, increase the amount of thyme or dill slightly.
- Salmon is cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- Skin-side down cooking helps achieve crispy skin when grilling or baking.
- Feel free to pair this salmon with roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
